RTT - Pancake, Pasta, Chocolate & Zombies, a classic combination
Thank goodness for Random Thoughts Tuesday - I am way overdue for a brain flush.....
Goofing around on SoulPancake when I'm supposed to be working - sshhh, I won't tell if you don't.
The other day at Epcot's Via Napoli Little Dude asked me to turn around & take this picture -
I turned back to find this going on
How slow does he think I am? And, yes, I did fire up the manners lecture after taking the shot. Ok - in reality my husband got serious while I turned away so he wouldn't see me laughing. I know, I know "don't encourage him..."
For the first time ever, I'm not eating Halloween candy! It is not willpower; I'm spoiled. The fabulous husband brought back a 2 lb box of Leonidas chocolate from Belgium last week. Just a few more days and I'll be spoiled & fat.... & possibly in a choco-coma.
Did you catch The Walking Dead on AMC Sunday? I tried to resist- but, hey, it has zombies. Even with cliche's & silly bits it looks pretty good so far. Also full of "oh yeah, that guy" actors - the ones that you remember you liked in something....
There seem to be way ...too .... many....periods...in ...this ...post
Lucky me - I'm featured over at The FamiLee Jewels today. If you have a minute, please pop by & leave a comment - cheers.
If you have 2, blog-out your chatter & add a link over at The Un Mom. Need more chaos? There are lots of other folks doing the same, so click through & check them out.
Gotta run. Hope you have a fantastic Random Tuesday! Which reminds me, if you're in the USA don't forget to vote.

Happy Halloween
Just got back into town & tossing together some Halloween color while Little Dude assembles his costume. Solarized a 25 yr old watercolor sketch in P. Elements.
Quick & dirty but it may have some future potential as a layer.

Last Night I Dreamt I Went To Manderley Again....
I love hotels. Love the TCM station & ginormous flat screen TVs.

If you love a classic tale & have not had the pleasure of settling in with a cup of earl grey and a copy of Daphne DuMaurier's novel Rebecca
or the Selznick/Hitchcock film,
I highly recommend doing so. Both are best on some cold & blustery night before a cozy fire.

I don't recall when I first watched Sir Laurence Olivier as Maxim DeWinter; I must have been 7 or 8, but it has been one of my favorite eerie tales since. You know, the kind of flick you catch while channel surfing (when you should already be in bed). You tell yourself "just a few minutes " & next thing you know 120 have passed and you're in some time-travelling half asleep trance like state.

My bleary-eyed husband would peek into the living room to see if I was planning to sleep anytime soon, glanced at the tv & mumble "mmm...you're watching that again..." before going back to bed.
Several years ago the Tampa Theater, my favorite time machine/movie palace held a screening. I dragged him to the theater with promises of an extra large popcorn & beer. We settled into the balcony. I enjoyed a few tunes from the Mighty Wurlitzer while he grumbled something about chic flicks. The lights went out, the velvet curtains parted & Joan Fontaine spoke the famous first line....
I know I've ranted here before about how watching a classic film in its original setting is truly an experience. Even my skeptical spouse was sucked into the time machine long enough to say "Now I get it" as the lights came up.
